Mokokchung, 13 January (MTNews): In what can be termed as good news for mushroom farmers, Dr Sosang Longkumer, the director of Nagaland based Konger Agritech has announced the success of their brand new shiitake sawdust spawn. This breakthrough in agricultural technology is garnering attention for its potential impact on shiitake cultivation in Nagaland after Dr Longkumer announced it on his firm’s official social media platforms.
Demonstrating the spawn’s effectiveness, Dr Longkumer posted the picture of a 5-inch-diameter shiitake cap, cultivated by Mr Mayang, a farmer in Mokokchung. The premium shiitake sawdust spawn employed in the process promises to be a game-changer.
“Happy to see the success of our brand new shiitake saw dust spawn,” Dr Longkumer announced.
